It's a heartacheNothing but a heartacheHits you when it's too lateHits you when you're down

Writing fiction is not a profession that leaves one well-disposed toward reading fiction. One starts out loving books and stories, and then one becomes jaded and increasingly hard to please. I read less and less fiction these days, finding the buzz and the joy I used to get from fiction in ever stranger works of non-fiction, or poetry.

Neil Gaiman

To me, fair friend, you never can be old. For as you were when first your eye I eyed. Such seems your beauty still.

William Shakespeare

A song will outlive all sermons in the memory.

Henry Giles

A darkened theater. Final whispers. Black. The projector streams through. The picture surrounds. I fall away. You reach me.

Jolene Stockman

Memory is not wisdom idiots can by rote repeat volumes. Yet what is wisdom without memory?

Martin Farquhar Tupper

He knows the universe and does not know himself.

Jean de La Fontaine

I don't believe in an after life, although I am bringing a change of underwear.

Woody Allen

I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Last week my tie caught on fire, some guy tried to put it out with an axe.

Rodney Dangerfield

We are in the process of creating what deserves to be called the idiot culture. Not an idiot sub-culture, which every society has bubbling beneath the surface and which can provide harmless fun; but the culture itself. For the first time, the weird and the stupid and the coarse are becoming our cultural norm, even our cultural ideal.

Carl Bernstein

A friend who cannot at a pinch remember a thing or two that never happened is as bad as one who does not know how to forget.

Samuel Butler

Democracy is the recurrent suspicion that more than half of the people are right more than half the time.
